Unlike some flip floppers, I didn't head back down to Harpers Ferry right after summitting Katahdin. Instead, I took a mini vacation in the middle of my vacation. I saw friends at Acadia, other friends in NYC, flew across the Atlantic to see Hotman in his natural habitat, and then finally home for a few …
